How to Be a Health "Nut"
If you aren't onboard yet it is time for everyone to go "nuts"!
There are many health benefits of a diet that includes 1 to 2 ounces of nuts daily. Here are some of the benefits you can enjoy:
In 1996 the Iowa Women's Health Study found that women who ate nuts more than 4 times per week were 40% less likely to die of Heart Disease, the leading cause of death in America.
Nuts are a great source of Protein, which helps the body burn fat and increase lean muscle mass
Nuts are rich in fiber and Phytonutrients as well as Antioxidants such as Vitamin E and Selenium.
Nuts contain high amounts of monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats which have been shown to lower Cholesterol levels.
Try adding these nuts and seeds to your diet to reap these benefits: almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds

John Wooden Dies at 99!!
Legenday UCLA College basketball coach passed away today. The man lived a full life including a 53 year marriage to his wife! After a solid 99 years he is now gone. So how did he do it? How did he live so long?
Answer: I have no idea. But I have some suggestions anyways. First, regular exercise is key!! An hour a day is recommended. Second, manage stress levels healthily by taking needed relaxation time and stretching. Third, eat a healthy (organic, of course!) diet and get the right amount of sleep. Fourth, regular check ups at the doctor.
Always try to avoid pollution, unnecessary chemicals, toxins, and unhealthy relationships!
And when all else fails, get necessary medications. You can get them online now, from secure websites such as TheOnlineMedicalPharmacy.com
